GN18-05 Enforcement of Avian Influenza Controls
This Guidance Note sets out what the powers available to DEFRA in the event of an outbreak on Avian Flu. DEFRA has produced a lot of useful, practical, information on its website concerning biosecurity and related matters. Nevertheless we remember FMD and the disputes concerning the extent of DEFRA officials powers, and the dilemma in which land mangers found themselves in as a result. We want to make sure they are better acquainted with their rights this time round.
